So my mystery event on Saturday, in case you haven’t already guessed, was the Love Vintage Clothing Show & Sale at Canterbury Racecourse in Sydney. It was fun, it was huge and I ended up with total sensory overload!!
Of course, there are pictures, so let me show you ~
Isn’t this tapestry handbag simply darling? And I just adore the Lucite handle, it felt so nice to the touch. There was soooo much to look at in the stalls, but of course there was also a lot of amazing outfits around! My sister helped me spot some darling vintage ladies and I manage to bolster my nerve and ask if I could take photos… Everyone was really sweet and said yes, but unfortunately I lost some of the pictures!
My camera malfunctioned and about half of the photos of the gorgeous ladies simply vanished… *sadface* : ( I am terribly sorry if your photo is missing. I feel awful, but I suppose these things happen.
~ Bella looked super in her fur stole and hat although I don’t know how she managed to stand the heat!
~ Polly Polka Dot looked so cute in her blue gingham frock and no wonder; she works a pin up model.
I loved this toy sewing machine ~ how gorgeous is it? Plus, it totally looked liked it worked! The sweet little plaid~clad bears were hard to pass by as well.
~ Tara’s blue floral print frock was simply stunning, and I loved her accessories! A lady always needs a good pair of gloves; although I was too hot in mine, so I took them off. Her mother, Julie, also looked amazing her suit and cats-eyes sunglasses. Very elegant!
~ Caterina’s navy circle skirt looked so comfortable but pretty and it had pockets! *win* Plus, the red striped top looked great, and don’t you love her matching navy clutch?
There was so much beautiful pearl jewellery available; trust me, I was drooling over the lot of it…. All out of my price range though. *sigh*
As were the frocks as well I am afraid! Lots of looking, but no taking home. Not this time anyway – but if I do go next year it will be with a well armed pocketbook!!!
This dress was an amazing confection of tulle and lace ~ I thought it was very pretty, although not quite my style as I don’t like to wear strapless. The colour was gorgeous though!
The lace collar on the far left!! So pretty and such a lot of detail!!! I actually saw quite a few collars from the 1930s which I thought was pretty amazing. ᵔᴗᵔ
So many fantastic hats! I wanted to take home any one of the dozens, but alas, they were out of my reach again. Next year I kept telling myself! I did however, manage to score one deal that I thought was super…
But that will have to wait until my next post. I haven’t included all of the pictures because there were too many, so I shall do a part two later on this week.
xox,
bonita
